WHAT’S NEW? NHS Trust Embraces ‘First of
its Kind’ Solution Following the launch of the market’s first mobile endoscopy decontamination unit late last year, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is the first trust in the UK to bring the ground-breaking solution to their hospital estate.
Partnering with leading mobile medical unit provider, EMS Healthcare, Quest+ Decontamination has been introduced at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield to support endoscope reprocessing services while vital department refurbishment work takes place.
The innovative new unit will ensure the hospital can continue services without disruption to the department or its patients – removing the need to use external decontamination services. The single trailer solution minimises the footprint required on site. Features include four RapidAER Reprocessors, a double endoscopy grade sink, integral RO plant, a track and trace system and clean and dirty areas enabling a one- way flow for scopes.
Angela Fairbank, Hospital Sterilisation and Decontamination Department (HSDU) Manager at Pinderfields Hospital, commented: “As a trust
that promotes the use of research and innovation to solve healthcare challenges, we are extremely proud to be at the forefront of this new solution. Without the Quest+ Decontamination unit, we were facing a period of sustained disruption to services and patients. EMS Healthcare came to us with a solution that could not only prevent this from happening, but could create significant efficiencies for the department.”
Keith Austin, CEO at EMS Healthcare, added: “The onsite launch at Pinderfields Hospital is the culmination of a considered and collaborative development process for Quest+ Decontamination. We have worked
been shortlisted in the Access Control Hardware category of the prestigious Benchmark Awards.
The Crawley-based company is a specialist in the design, development and manufacture of door entry and intercoms. It recently launched the new portfolio of IP-based solutions.
The range comprises a selection of outdoor panels and indoor monitors to target specifiers and M&E consultants considering door entry and access control products for new build developments and refurbishments of apartment buildings.

The launch at Pinderfields Hospital also marks the start of EMS Healthcare’s official partnership with reprocessing equipment provider, Cantel (UK) Ltd, and RO plant provider, Veolia Water Technologies. The partnership means the Quest+ Decontamination unit can now offer healthcare providers a one- stop solution for their endoscopy reprocessing needs.

to be implemented in a realistic and cost-effective manner.
Grant Jenkins, who heads up ISM’s Door entry division, believes the shortlisting demonstrates that the interest shown by potential customers in the new range is supported by the panel of Benchmark judges. He said: “The new IP Connect range of products complement the existing Ultimate stable of Intercoms and door entry equipment that are already well- established in the UK.
“Customers have been intrigued in not only the new IP Connect range as a standalone solution, but also how they can be integrated with our existing intercom, door entry products and the award-winning Genesys 2 ISMS.”
